THE PROJECT BASE LINE Output 3.1 Francesco Pellizzari, Technical Assistance Manager and Project Partners. March, 2020. DISCLAIMER This document has been produced with the financial assistance of the European Union under the ENI CBC Mediterranean Sea Basin Programme. The contents of this document are the sole responsibility of Francesco Pellizzari, Project Technical Assistance Manager, and can under no circumstances be regarded as reflecting the position of the European Union or the Programme management structures. 2 FORWARD. This report refers to project output 3.1: Project Base Line of WP3. It outlines the Base Line (including SWOT) of each of the regions being part of the project area as well as for the whole T/C industry of the area. The Base Line represents the starting point of the Project and it provides its initial benchmark. The analysis for each region/country were conducted by the local Project Partners following the methodology presented at the Project Kick off Meeting held in Barcelona (19-20 February 2020). Project Partners were able to implement the local assessments in a limited timeframe by deploying exceptional resources in the activity in order to catch up with the initial project plan. This effort had also the outcome to avoid the slow-down of the Project/Programme activities due to the Covid-19 infection outbreak. The Report consists of the following Parts: Part 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Part 2. BASE LINES OF EACH REGION/COUNTRY (consisting of the following inputs): 1. Outline of the T/C sector in the region a) Size • Geographical perimeter of the sector • Number of enterprises in the T/C Industry • Total turnover of T/C Industry • Total local employment direct • Estimation of Total indirect employment • Exports b) Specialization • Core activity of the sector (characterization) • Typical or prevailing products • Other relevant products • Other relevant technologies/processes 2. History and Evolution (of the T/C sector in the Region/Country) • Driving forces of the past • Subsequent evolution and changes • Current situation 3 3. Swot Analysis 4. Characterization (of the T/C in each Region/Country) • Distinctive features • Critical factors and Key Issues • What the Region/Country Needs • What the Region/Country Offers 5. Perspectives • On-going developments • Emerging needs and forces 6. Key topics for the TEX-MED ALLIANCES project • Internationalization • Innovation • Circular Economy 7. Key topics for the ENICBCMED Programme • International Alliances Part 3. CONCLUSION. 4 PART 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The T/C industry is a very significant sector in the Project area (i.e.: Catalunia, Toscana, Central Macedonia, Ben Arous, Mahdia, Monastir, Sousse, Tunis, Alexandria, Amman, Palestine) or in the regions in which the Project Partners operate. Here below some significant aggregate data (2018): • SMEs: 16.000 units (apx) • Turnover: 18.000 million Euros (apx) • Direct Employment: 230.000 units (apx) • Exports: 11.000 million Euros. Actually, these data are restricted to the specific T/C value chain (fibre, yarn, fabric, finishing and final product), therefore the multiplier economic impact of the sector is much higher just considering also adjacent sectors such as: trade and marketing (retailers, wholesalers, distributors, importers, exporters, agents, advertising agencies, specialized exhibitions and fairs, etc); logistics: shipping agencies, transport, etc.; suppliers of machinery, technology, spare parts, raw materials, utilities; suppliers of professional services: technicians, consultants, designers, etc. In all regions, the T/C sector has been developing since long (in same regions since many centuries) therefore, they are well rooted in the local society and each of them have specific features. Understanding their own characterization can facilitate the identification of initiatives that can trigger new alliances. Distinctive features of the T/C sector in each region (summary): • Catalunya (Spain): fashion for all, R&D innovation in materials, green economy • Tuscany (Italy): fashion niche specialists, sustainability, recycling/regeneration • Central Macedonia (Gr): industrial service providers, cotton innovation • Central Tunisia (Tunisia): productivity in clothing, fostering innovation in production • Technical Textile Tunisia: technical clothing such as protection, enhanced natural fibres • Alexandria Gov.te (Egypt): development of cotton, manufacturing • Amman Gov.te (Jordan): high productivity in manufacturing, USA specialists. • Palestine (whole country): business adaptation to dire situation. Beside the distinctive feature and competences that each region has, there are many other aspects that are shared or put in common since the T/C supply chain utilize the same inputs, share same machinery and operational know-how. Exchange of materials, products, technologies, skills among different regions are very common, cooperation is a habit together with competition. The following SWOT Analysis has been drafted for the whole project area and taking into consideration and combining the characterizations of each area. 5 The SWOT Analysis for each region were conducted locally by the PP on the basis of the their deep and long standing knowledge of their T/C sector, on field interviews to local experts and stakeholders as well as by processing local and national data and information (desk research). The following SWOT Analysis for the whole Project Area was drafted by Project the Technical Assistance Manager. SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE T/C INDUSTRY OF THE PROJECT AREA. STRENGHTS WEAKNESSES • Full coverage of the whole T/C value chain. • Conflicting interests among SMEs of the • Internationalization area (either vertical and horizontal) • Many and diversified excellences: • Weak production of advanced fibres o Cotton production (Egypt, Greece) • Weak R&D (compared to North EU and o Fashion Brands (Spain, Italy, locally other advanced countries) on Technical Greece and Tunisia) Textiles and materials o Skills in Modest fashion (MPC) • Average small size of enterprises o Manufacturing (clothing/knitting: • Still widespread subcontracting Jordan, Tunisia, Palestine, Egypt, (dependence to customers) Greece … niches for Spain and Italy) • Lack of a common (identical) agreement of o Finishing (Italy, Spain) each country with EU (Commercial o Technical Textiles (Spain, Tunisia barriers) o Retail (Spain and locally Greece, Tunisia) o Sustainability (Italy, Spain) o Technical Innovation (Spain, Italy) OPPORTUNITIES THREATS ➢ A global re-balancing of cost- • Instability of the Middle East competitiveness with Asian countries • The asymmetric competitive position of ➢ Economic development of nearby areas Turkey in Europe. (Africa) • The huge Economic impact of Covid-19 in ➢ A new wave of “Islamic fashion” European Mediterranean countries such as ➢ Possible cooperation and integration Italy and Spain. among Mediterranean partners (Alliances). • The global slowdown of consumers demand in the short-medium term. The SWOT Analysis identifies different areas of possible cooperation among the regions where the opportunities are significant. In these areas, alliances are likely to be possible. However, we have to consider that, at present and despite the long-standing business relationships among SMEs and BROs of the project area, the number of structured alliances complying with the definition criteria of the Programme is zero. Therefore, the way for alliances is possible but not ensured. 6 PART 2. BASE LINES OF EACH REGION/COUNTRY. 7 TEXFOR: Project Beneficiary Region/Country: Catalonia (Sabadell)/Spain 1.

These methods of making apparel fabrics are length and costly. However, because of the advancements in nonwoven technology, nonwoven fabrics are finding a niche market in the clothing industry because of its cost effectiveness and high speeds of nonwoven production processes. We have carried out an extensive study on the development of apparel- like nonwoven fabrics. The resultant fabric showed improved drape, hand, durability and thermophysiological comfort characteristics than the reference samples for apparel applications. Results of the study also showed that the developed nonwoven fabrics showed nearly 200% higher tensile strength than the reference nonwoven fabrics. Furthermore, it also showed improved air permeability, for example, the resultant nonwoven fabric exhibited 500% higher air permeability value as compared with the Evolon fabric at 100 Pa pressure. Thus the results of the study indicate that the resultant nonwoven fabrics may be used in a wide range of apparel applications, which can lead to additional benefits in terms of cost and time.

Ultralow stock prices, tight credit markets and weakening consumer demand could eventually lead to a new round of consolidation among buyers and sellers, and ultimately an even smaller fashion industry where the number of corporate players shrinks further and the big get even bigger. If fashion is going to go on a renewed consolidation kick, though, it will have to wait until the stock markets calm.

  • 10 Top Takeaways from Magic 2017
    August 17, 2017 10 Top Takeaways from Magic 2017 The FGRT team attended the Magic conference in Las Vegas on August 14–16 this week. The event covers the men’s, women’s and children’s apparel, accessories and footwear markets. There was a lot of positive energy about the transformative changes taking place in retail. Many of the sessions were geared towards new brands, providing roadmaps and how-to guides on navigating through the fashion space, and emphasized providing a unique and differentiated product offering. The resounding theme we heard throughout the conference is that getting products to customers faster is imperative, and the current fashion cycle is out of date. Retail is not dead; it is just different! Here, we share our 10 top takeaways from the three days. 1) Retail isn’t dead, it’s just very different! 2) Sourcing is strategic and requires collaboration and innovation, now more than ever. 3) Data from social media can help retailers make better and faster decisions, including trend and inventory forecasting. 4) Fit is critical in apparel sales, even more important than fashion or style. 5) Robots, over time, can be taught to manufacture apparel, and domestic production can be made economical using lean manufacturing and management. 6) Fashion is seasonless and more casual, creating opportunities for fashion innovation. 7) The product development cycle must be shortened in order to remain competitive. 8) China is no longer a one-stop shop for sourcing; things are more complicated now. 9) The go-to sourcing destination: Vietnam continues to lure US firms.
